Patent GB-191025840-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in, or relating to, Undercarriages of Railway and other Vehicles.
IPC: B61G9/04
Filed: 1910-11-07
Granted: 1911-11-07
Abstract: 25,840. Leeds Forge Co., and Rowntree, E. de H. Nov. 7. Axle-trucks and bogies.-The invention relates to railway wagons in which the draw and buffing gear is carried by the bogie, and consists in providing members on the bogie frame for abutment against the underframe bolster so that the draw and buffing stresses are transmitted from the buffer beam to the underframe substantially in one plane m, which is above the centre pivot. Undesirable bending and twisting stresses on the framing and undue wear on the centre pivot are thus avoided. In the construction shown, the underframe bolster is curved at the central part about the pivot f for the abutment of similarly curved segments j secured to the transom c and connected to the buffer beam g and end member s by bars p, q. In order to reduce friction when the bogie turns on its pivot f, slight clearance may normally be allowed between the abutting members i, j, so that only severe stresses are transmitted thereby. The abutting surfaces may be omitted on one side of the pivot or the other if it is not desired to transmit both buffing and draw stresses by these means. Either or both abutting surfaces may be curved in the vertical direction, the surface h being, for instance, convex as shown.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Arc Lights.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1911-07-03
Granted: 1912-07-03
Abstract: 15,474. General Composing Co. July 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Arc lamps.-In a " candle," having an intermediate body which forms conductive bridges for re-kindling, the arc is kept away from the body, to prevent the latter becoming unduly hot and conductive. The arc may be impelled by a magnet or by a natural or forced air current issuing from a passage in the body; adjacent sides of the electrodes may be flattened to increase the effect. The intermediate body b may extend only a short distance from the candle-holder, the arc rising to the electrode points. Alternatively, the intermediate body may be of material such as a mixture of silicates with borides, phosphates, or the like, which melts away at some distance from the arc. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the following - A thin web of insulating-material, adapted to steady the arc and increase the light, may be placed between the upper parts of the electrodes shown in Fig. 2. The re-kindling body may be of moderately high melting-point; readilyreducible substances such as iron or lead oxide, or conductors such as carbon, graphite, iron, or magnesium, may be added to titanium compounds or to mixtures of magnesia or chamotte with silicic acid or waterglass, of oxalates or carbonates with an electrolyte, or of thoria and lanthana. The bridge-forming material may occupy only a small portion of the cross-sectional area of the intermediate body, being arranged on one or both sides of the body, or midway between, or in contact with, the electrodes; or it may be finely-divided or in the colloidal state; or it may be incorporated in the electrodes only, the intermediate non-conducting body then receiving a conductive coating from the arc; or the intermediate body may contain calcium chloride or the like so as to become moist and therefore conductive when cold. Several candles constructed as above may be arranged in one socket and used similarly to an incandescent lamp. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
